The definition of a substance that is hazardous to healthis any substances that legally have to be labelled as "very toxic", "toxic", "harmful", "irritant" or "corrosive". If you, or yourcontractors, intend to use such substances you must carry out a written assessment, under the COSHH regulations andsend to [email protected] at least 30 days prior to arriving on site.

6. Health and Safety Trade DescriptionYou are advised that HASAWA 1974 requires that any equipment being operated or demonstrated must be inherently safe,and not create a hazard to the demonstrator or audience. False claims may be subject to action under the TradeDescription Act 1968.

7. Risk Assessment GuidanceAs exhibitions and events are deemed as hazardous environments, it is a legal requirement that all exhibitors andcontractors undertake a suitable and sufficient Risk Assessment prior to the Show, listing the tasks and identifying themain hazards that each presents on site and devising ways to eliminate, reduce, isolate or control those hazards.

An Exhibitor is liable to heavy fines, prosecution and even imprisonment should they be found to be negligent in the eventof an accident to its staff or visitors if suitable safety control measures are not in place.A Risk Assessment should cover all hazards arising from work practices on site including lifting, PPE, fire controls, exhibitsand/or demonstrations, COSHH, RIDDOR, fume extraction, hazchems, noise, etc, especially if it would affect neighbouringstands, visitors, etc.Shell Scheme exhibitors are required to undertake a suitable and sufficient Risk Assessment which should include all workpractices, hazardous exhibits and the risks to be found on site.

A sample Risk Assessment is included at the back of this manual and below are some notes for guidance:

Question: How do I go about undertaking a Risk Assessment?Answer: By Law, it must be 'suitable and sufficient' - but it must also be simple to understand,

implement and communicate to all your staff and contractors....

Step 1: Look for the task/hazards:What equipment, materials and chemicals will be used? How much noise and dirt will there be? What are the groundconditions? What vehicle movements and lifting operations have to be considered? Do you need to schedule a 'LateWorking Rota' to avoid tiredness and accidents? How will you be disposing of waste? Are there any electrical installations?What hazardous vehicles/exhibits do you have? Can visitors fall from a height?

Step 2: Decide who could be harmed and how:Who will be affected by your work and be most at risk? Think of your employees, contractors or exhibitors on or, near yourstand, through to the visitors themselves. Safe working depends on co-operation and exchange of information betweenfirms on site, so take this into account and consider necessary precautions on every aspect of the work being carried out,which may include training and the provision of relevant information.

Step 3: Evaluate the risks and write down Control Measures:Once you have done this adequately, you can then decide on the appropriate action you are going to take to eliminatethem. Ask yourself (a) can the hazard or risk be removed completely or done in a different way; (b) if the risk cannot beeliminated, can it be isolated, controlled or reduced and how; (c) can protective measures be taken that will protect theentire workforce on site? Protective work wear should be considered as the last step to take and may not be the onlysolution.

Step 4: Record and notify the findings:Write down the findings of your Risk Assessment. Pass on information about significant risks to those people identified inStep 2 and record what measures you have taken to control those risks. Write it all down, then do it on site and rememberto keep it simple.

Step 5: Review your findings:This allows you to learn by experience and take account of any unusual conditions or changes that occur on site. TheStand Manager and/or Principal Contractor should draw up the Risk Assessment as well as a specific Method Statementand go through it with all relevant parties in advance of the Show. Update the Risk Assessment as and when required,such as if new work practices are brought in, or new staff employed, or the working environment changes in any way.Ordinary hand-written changes are quite acceptable, but remember to implement the changes required for next time.

8. Do's & Don'tsFor ease of reference, please make sure that you have covered the following points, amongst other safety precautions that you have identified and will take:

Do • Make sure you and anyone manning your stand understands the fire and evacuation procedures and

locations of the hall exits.• Make sure your contractor is a member of BECA or another recognised trade association.• Ensure that any contractor working for you has a suitable and sufficient health and safety policy statement

and good safety practices. You can obtain the details of the regulations from the Organisers.• Make sure that contractors are working safely - and ensure they are trained and competent.• Working at height on ladders and scaffolding must be done in a controlled and safe manner.• Drive with due care and attention inside and around the exhibition site.• Ensure that operators are fully trained and properly certified on the equipment being used.• Make sure a qualified electrician carries out all electrical work. This should only be the appointed electrical

contractor for the show, or your appointed stand contractor.• Ensure that measures are taken to minimise the impact of your operations on the environment.• Treat all cables as though they were live.• Ensure that all rubbish and packing from your stand is removed from the site. It must not be stored on or

behind your stand during the show.• Make sure that hazardous waste is disposed of safely.• Make sure that you are properly insured for the exhibition.

Don't • Time constraints are no excuse for not adhering to safety standards.• Don't plan to work late, but if you do ask for permission and provide adequate breaks for your staff.• Don't use flammable materials in your displays. This includes plastic flowers, polystyrene, etc. Some combustible

materials may be acceptable if treated with the correct materials. • Don't have overloaded or insecure displays. Stands and displays can be knocked by visitors and must be

safe and secure.• Don't bring children onto the site. Children under the age of 16 are not permitted in the halls during the period

of build-up and breakdown. The halls are regarded as a place of work where large vehicles and loads are being manoeuvered. In the interests of safety and to comply with local and insurance rules and regulations, this restriction will be strictly enforced.

• Don't overload trolleys - not only does this damage your exhibits but will also make it difficult to move through crowded aisles and may cause injury to you or other people.

• Don't block the gangways with items from your stand. For safety reasons, all gangways must be kept as clear as possible at all times. In addition, we have designated "emergency gangways" which may not be obstructed at any time.

9. General• The exhibitor responsible for the stand should ensure that a suitable and sufficient risk assessment for the exhibition

build up, open and breakdown days of the event is carried out.• A person must be appointed who is responsible for health and safety matters on the stand.• Your contractors should wear suitable protective clothing relevant to their job, which includes hearing, foot and

hand protection.• Notify your staff and contractors of the need for vigilance regarding the health and safety of themselves and

those working in the vicinity, and monitor them at regular intervals.• If you have any concerns with the points raised in this section please report it to the Organiser’s Office.• All parking restrictions and speed limits must be adhered to.• Use a banksman when reversing.• You must ensure that portable power equipment is used for the purpose for which it was designed for, that it

has been PAT tested and that the safety guards and dust collection bags are correctly fitted and used.• You must ensure that portable electric tools are used with a minimum length of trailing leads and that such

equipment is not left unattended with a live power supply to it.• It is your responsibility to ensure that any equipment or pre-wired units comply with the H & S regulations

before they are installed on site.• No electrical cables may be allowed to cross gangways, passageways and fire exits. If unavoidable they must

be taped down securely so as to avoid a trip hazard.• Any work area must be maintained free from general waste materials that could hazard operatives.• You must ensure that all contractors, particularly from abroad, are aware of the need to identify suitable and

sufficient tools and equipment required for the job before coming on site
